Why the Right is Right

What makes conservatism right? If you’re a conservative, you should know why you’re right. If you’re not a conservative, why should you think about becoming one? Greg Gutfeld, bestselling author of, “How To Be Right: The Art of Being Persuasively Correct”, explains.

The Lexington Libertarian would add some additional comments on the tenets of Conservatism

A Conservative recognizes that the way to improve everybody’s lot is through economic growth, not redistribution

A Conservative recognizes that Capitalism provides that growth and a Liberal supports Socialism as a way to level everybody out

A Conservative encourages upward mobility, the American Dream, while a Liberal wants to bring everybody down to the lowest common denominator in the name of equality

A Conservative believes in bottom-up management while a Liberal is for top down management

A Conservative will always respect the will of the people while a Liberal often will resort to force to get his way

A Conservative believes in peace through strength while a Liberal encourages war through weakness

A Conservative believes in the rule of law and the US Constitution while a Liberal feels that laws are made to be broken and the Constitution is an old document that needs to be interpreted by the whim of the moment

A Conservative believes in the freedom that comes with macro management while a Liberal wants to heavily regulate society thus micro managing it

A Conservative believes it is a basic American right for a citizen to own a gun while a Liberal wants to ban all guns
